Press and Reviews for Second City Theatricals

"THE SECOND CITY COMES THROUGH WITH AN AVALANCHE OF LAUGHS."– Gary Zeidner, Boulder Weekly

Mandell Weiss Forum

The Mandell Weiss Forum is a 400-seat thrust stage theatre, with audience
members surrounding the stage on three sides. It contains a rehearsal hall, two
courtyards and an outdoor "lobby." Built with sleek industrial materials and
intersecting geometric shapes, it has a long free-standing entry wall with massive
reflective smoky-glass panes that generate the illusion of being both within and outside
of the partition.
